Title: Bizarre new mammal: land manatee links Post by: pauld on Friday, February 1, 2008, 12:33:35 Some bloke's discovered a new mammal in Tanzania and despite being a land creature, it's a distant relative of the manatee. Thought you'd all want to know.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7213571.stm I think we should adopt it as the official STFC animal/mascot thing. Much better than a robin. And our nickname could be the "land manatees".

Title: Bizarre new mammal: land manatee links Post by: pauld on Friday, February 1, 2008, 13:06:20 Quote from: "flammableBen" that's no land manatee. Quote In fact, the creature is more closely related to a group of African mammals, which includes elephants, sea cows, aardvarks and hyraxes, having shared a common ancestor with them about 100 million years ago. "This is why they are also known as sengis," explained Dr Rathbun. Is too.

Title: Bizarre new mammal: land manatee links Post by: pauld on Friday, February 1, 2008, 13:30:31 Quote it's a distant relative of the manatee It's not actually a land manatee per se just related to them. Come on you must have some stumpy cousins or something? Title: Bizarre new mammal: land manatee links Post by: flammableBen on Friday, February 1, 2008, 13:37:52 There are lots of variety of land manatees.
This is clearly a long nosed land shrew manatee.
